A fitness-friendly gift

In a blog post, titled ‘Take a cue from Rani Mukerji for a fitness-friendly gift’ published in January 2009, Giftex had noted how the actor looked slimmer in a ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ song sequence.

The blog mentioned: “She indeed has lost about three kilos. This is because she is religiously and regularly sweating it out in the gym six days a week for over an hour. Media reports also suggest that she does at least three days of weight training followed by three days of yoga to burn fat.

Working out is not the only thing that she is doing to get a leaner body. Also on her agenda is diet control,” the Giftex post mentioned. She has gone a step further, and lost several inches around her bulging waist, as we informed in last week’s post.

Payal Gidwani, her trainer, has been famous for another popular Bollywood start Kareena Kapoor’s size zero look in Tashan. When she began teaching her yoga, it was not easy. She had hardly any stamina and she would often develop get cramps owing to problems with her nerves.

Payal then conceived a special regime for her comprising an hour and 15 minutes of yoga plus 45 minutes of walking. Slowly, it started showing desired results. The key, of course, is to diligently stick to your schedule. In fact, Rani now very much enjoys yoga. If Rani can, why not you and your near and dear ones?

We suggest you may gift books on healthy eating or low-fat food recipes to them. They would sure like to take a cue from their favorite Bollywood star. You can instill that extra awareness about fitness and importance of regular exercising with such a meaningful gift. You can well consider gifting a gym membership. Isn’t it a genuine gesture of care and love?
